A proven power 5 level player with starting experience?
I'd love to hear you thoughts on Solomon Young's 17min 4.4ppg....is he just a practice body too? Jacobsen may not be a superstar but he's the most proven post player on our roster. Can't wait to see how both he and Shayok develop with the year off.
Jacobson + Young + Lard + Shayok = I like this front court.
Board crashers!

Me too. Finally won't get out rebounded by 10 boards a game.
He gets a year of practice and lifting. Might be 6'10" and 260 when he steps on the court. If he averages 8 and 8 that would help a lot.
I like the pick up, I think he'll be a better player than most of the freshman posts we were after and I dont think he'll mind not being the man. Which is huge for the idea of being able to pick up a big time post next year.
It's easier to score some offensive rebounds when your teammates shoot for Nebraska. That's a dig at NU and not Jacobson. We're getting an experienced player, proven rebounder, and two years of eligibility. I'm already much more excited about him than I was when his name was floated awhile back.
Solid get late considering some of the spring misses and attrition of Carter and Kosongo opening up the post positions. He would likely have been morte productive than either next year is a bonus.
Jacobson can contribute ~20 minutes a game especially against traditional bigs that Kansas, TT, and TCU often bring to Hilton. I am curious how Prohm will want to use him as I really haven't seen him employ a similar player but the staff has a year to figure that out.
Welcome to ISU Michael, you'll enjoy your time.

The couple times I watched him, I saw lots of effort and work for rebounds. Kid did the dirty work. Also saw a nice 10-15 ft jumper. Welcome Michael...will be glad to see you in cardinal and gold!
Solid pickup. 6'9" P5 Starter who wants to be a Cyclone. I love the hard working, do the little things skill set he brings to the program. Glad to have him.
We would have sacrificed a virgin for this guy last season.
Great use of an open scholarship. We get a guy that wants to be here. Has been banging around the post for two seasons in the Big Ten and gives us a solid practice squad guy for a year. Nothing but positives.
I was down on losing a commitment but look at this as at least an even trade.
Now we need to find some shooters.

Homan ain't no Kareem.
That's right brother...ain't no time for play man! Take your vitamins and get serious!
Wonder how many of the "meh" and "practice body" crowd was ******** about our rebounding and toughness during the year...
